The Riddler (DayZ)

DaRT (http://www.dayztv.com/apps/download/dayz-dart-admin-rcon-tool-windows/) is what we used to get the GUID the fastest. DaRT does not record kill logs but it does show player's connect and disconnect, and next to their name is the GUID. We would then look through the actual server logs to match everything up to then file an "issue" on the feedback tracker. Have a look at this link for converting a STEAM ID to a GUID: http://codepen.io/micovery/full/bNbLqL As far as I know, that still coverts accurately. Its what I used a few times before rcon was enabled for server owners. :thumbsup: Ahh good call. :beans:

That was a dam good shot he made. They normally can move fast enough to where you can't hit them, but it all depends on their skill level as a player despite the hack. Typically players who chose to hack are quite poor at actually playing the game, thus why they chose to cheat. If you guys get a chance like that again, immediately rush the body and check for the pulse. It should say his name even if he's attempting to rage quit for a few seconds. Here is a link to the dev tracker site where you can submit a report: https://feedback.dayz.com/ You can link your video from youtube as well just for future reference.

Did you guys get the Hacker's in game name? It can be used to identify his GUID and have him reported. The video is clear that he was using some sort of speed hack to move across the land that fast. Good shooting by your teammate to take him out.

They need to be reported to their GSP for sure. I'll be happy to file a report. As a previous Public Server owner ( Welcome to Jungle ) I took cheating on our server VERY VERY serious. When cheating was at its worst several patches back, I would spend my entire time that I had playing, searching and hunting down hackers that people would report on our TS. I wasn't trying to kill mind you, rather just get their name so I could then link it to their GUID. It led to several bug reports being filed in which those cheaters/hackers had their GUID banned with substantial evidence. I just wanted our population to know that we care about their experience while playing on our server in hopes they make it a favorite and return frequently to play. Having said that, I think we'll have a Private Server next year when Beta hits rather than Public for these specific reasons. I know the dev's work hard to combat the cheaters but unfortunately there is always somebody out there that is able to exploit the game and the only true way to keep them off your server is to limit who can connect in the first place. Saw a herd of cows yesterday near Lopatino. Saw a few chickens as well near the North East Airfield but other than that, I have not seen any other game.

With regards to the parts to the helicopter, I wish they'd make it to where you needed a vehicle to transport some of the parts. For example the Blades. Those suckers are long and carrying one of those for a few KM's or more is certainly going to be difficult on an individual. Hell even car or truck batteries would be a pain in the ass to carry from town to town. Anybody lately replaced their battery in their vehicle? Its a heavy son a gun unless you have a dry cell like a OPTIMUM battery. Anyways, just my .02 on the subject of vehicle parts. With regards to the hacker/cheater that others have witnessed as well; thank you for linking the report. I will vote up the report as well as add in comments based on what I witnessed last night while playing and watching BlackOut's live stream on Experimental. Sounded like the same kid from the video in the report but I cannot confirm. I don't have time to go back through Blackout's recorded video but there is plenty of evidence in that video of the hacker talking in Global.

Anybody else hear the fool that was somehow speaking globally scream "Alah Ackbar(sp)" followed by a bunch of what sounded like Arabic on the Southwest server? I can't recall the number of the server, but he went on for nearly 5 mins. Had a few friends on playing with me and they were in separate regions of the map and could hear him too. Sounds like somebody found a way to "script/hack" the walkie talkies or somehow get admin controls to then speak globally :( Also witnessed trees swinging like pendulums all over the map followed by some guy stating that he was "God coming to claim his children". If nobody has opened up a dev tracker on this, I WILL. The Dev's need to know asap so they can start to investigate and put a stop to this childless on the Exp. Servers. :emptycan:

Title says it all. I don't know if the repeater has changed in any way in .59, but I enjoy long range shots without a scope so I wanted to see if it was accurate at roughly 203 meters or so. This was according to Dayzdb.com/map using the distance tool. Its give or take of course on distance but you get the idea. I was in the Crane when I fired. Pretty impressed with this gun as I have not used it much in stable or experimental but I certainly plan to use it more. Thanks for Watching!

He actually was not a bambi although I thought he was when I first shot. He was carrying a mountain backpack, Winchester, mp5 and a sawed off shotgun, plus several misc. gun attachments. He was trying to kill the bambi actually that ran right in front of him when I pulled the trigger. That bambi told my partner how loud the snap was and had no idea where the shot came from. Thought it was the guy shooting at him until he turned around and saw him dead. We gave that bambi everything on the body :thumbsup:

Thank you and yes I agree, engagements have changed it seems. I still enjoy shooting from afar.

A bit more food for thought........Did anybody go check your body when you died? If so, did they notice if your pants were ruined as well as the items inside your pants? That would indicate you fell through the floor if you didn't already have ruined pants on (duh :rolleyes: ).

I'm still having problems drinking from ponds without a bottle or canteen. Anybody else? Been playing on South Central Server.

Yeah desynced and fell through the floor I agree as well. I've died in that building the same way but was on the stairs. Cool Video!

Keep in mind in .58 zombies were removed for optimization purposes and the first thing I noticed when .58 came out was the increased frame rate. I know they've made improvements on zomibes but I believe they are still a work in progress which should help with frame rate therefore the lack in frames you see now is probably due to the zombies. If i'm mistaken in my information I apologize in advance. Been barely able to keep up with development lately due to life ;)

Same here man. Its been kinda weird. If I do PVP I usually use a firearm from afar but I have run across so many people spawning on the coast that want to fight and skip the small talk. I actually got a good one on video late last week in SVET. A guy had a rifle but couldn't hit me at all and I just kept running at him until I was able to stab him enough to get him bleeding. After that he switched to a pick axe where I stayed close enough so that he'd swing at me enough until he finally collapsed and bled out. :) Unfortunately I was picked off in Gorka by a guy with an MP5 that I never saw but of course heard the bullets. Eh, not attached to gear but was hoping since its experimental people wouldn't be so quick to the gun especially when off the coast. :thumbsup:

Looks like that was a lot of fun. Great job guys.

hilarious!!! Music was.........well not my cup of tea but i muted it and laughed through the whole video. :thumbsup:

As a project manager IMHO, the development reports that they give us are not always consistent and thus why I think people lose patience. I myself lost patience a few months ago reading a status report simply b/c I always read the previous report again right before I read the new one, and I take down notes on paper so I can track what was said from report to report. That is where I lost my patience b/c it just seemed like they were all over the place in what to release as information from report to report, and in some cases fail to follow up on items they said they'd report back on. I take it all with a grain of salt though b/c I'm not apart of the dev team and I don't know what is really going on at the studio AND I know they are working hard. However, I really hope they're just going through the pains right now of getting a whole bunch of stuff merged so it can finally be released to experimental for us all to test and enjoy. With that in mind maybe that is why its taking so long to get us something new. Let's also not forget the hardware failures and morons out there that DDOS'd the servers which took away time from pushing forward on development. Hang in there survivors'; we'll be cheering once a new experimental build hits and we switch over to the experimental thread to chat about it. :thumbsup:

Anybody else getting session lost on severs at the moment and/or authentication timed out? Can't seem to join any servers at the moment and hoping its just a local thing for me and not effecting everybody (Public Hive)

Whew Hoo!!! Oh I can't wait to start seeing video's of people ambushing a vehicle as it drives by with an RPG. Damn! That is going to be so cool!!! I hear that my man. It seems like when I go looking for trouble in this game, I have a hard time finding it even when on a full pop server. However lately playing very little (mainly b/c I have no time as of now) I have run across more people in the north on low pop servers than I ever have before. I think I'll try my luck again tonight and go scope out the NWAF on that same server if its low pop. Would love to record catching some loot farmers and make them pay. I just turned on Shadow play so I don't have an excuse this time not to have a recording of the events :)

Phew.....have not played in about 2 weeks. Forgot I logged out at the NWAF in a tree which was really stupid of me to do. Logged onto a low pop (5 players), and when I realized I was close to one of the prison buildings I figured I'd just go inside and scope out the the entire airfield with my SKS (pu scope attached). Low and behold, the other 4 players on the server were at the tents farming loot from the officer's tent (Quonset hut). I hate people who do that; it just really pisses me off to see people exploit the game so one by one I took each of their lives and their m4's and threw them in the woods. I made sure to spread each m4 out so that in the next 30 minutes nobody joining the server would find them. After that I felt like my work was done so I headed north into the woods where I logged out and called it a day. I really need to start recording my game sessions like these. It would have made for a great video in the Gallery :)

Please tell me that small arms fire will not make a door fall off a vehicle by themselves. Please? I have shot hundreds and hundres of rounds over the years from my SKS into an old Buick we have at my Ranch (its part of our shooting range) and the doors are still hanging on their hinges. Bullet holes would certainly be awesome to see over seeing the door looking like its aged 10 years just from small arms bullets. I fully understand its going to be tweaked as we get closer to 1.0 but bullets should not be able to take panels off a car by themselves unless we're talking about the VS3 Cargo's wooden panels.. An explosive device or brute force from the impact with an object should however be what damages those panels to the point where it falls off. Or for that matter, the impact causes the panel to be so damaged, some bullets in the right spot "could" take the panel off.

See that's what bothers me the most....the mechanics of what? A vehicle's condition based on getting shot up with small arms fire? That's what going to happen in this game if you shoot at a vehicle multiple times? Surely hope not; Now if that WIP video is to show what will happen after having a vehicle for a long time being effected by weather, wear and tear etc and damage as I outlined in my first post; ok that's more realistic. Parts will rust, things will wear out with use, but certainly not from putting some bullets into it..........

sorry if I missed the answer to this question, but I too am hoping this is going to improved on? Shooting a few bullets into a car door makes it fall off the hinges? Sorry that just really really bugs me and I certainly hope they will be improving on that. I was expecting bullet holes before a weathered looking door/truck/fender. Bullet holes also to me would be much more realistic and be able to tell a story of the vehicle's past. IMHO the only thing that should take a door off its hinges is brute force caused by running into a stationary object, hitting another car/truck etc or an explosive device. It just seems so cheap looking at its current state. Again, I'm sorry I didn't have time to read through the rest of the posts to find more answers; I'll have more time tomorrow to do so but seeing that video just forced a response that I felt was needed. I truly hope this is going to be changed/improved upon.

I wanted one last firefight on my server before it officially went offline this morning and I got exactly what I was after since the server was low pop. Found two guys at tent city farming loot from the officer's hut. I patiently waited for the two of them to stop moving while they sorted through the gear they were pulling out of the tent and capitalized on the opportunity. So me and my trusty SKS with a PU scope in hand fired a shot that was about 712m according to DayZdb.com/map in which I hit the first guy right in the head. He dropped liked a sack of potato's. His buddy scrambled to take cover but instead of doing the safe thing which was run or log out, he attempted to go pull the gear off his dead partner, and for that he paid with his life. I wounded him on my 2nd shot but could see the blood flowing. He started to run and made it just to the base of the hill that heads back towards Myshkino in which he collapsed without firing another shot. Both of them were farming M4 gear. Both had M4's fully decked out with Acog's and other scopes in their bags. Both of them also each had 5 - 60 round mags for the m4 so I felt it was a job well done. The only other gear they had were two water bottles each and some cans of food. Its a Jungle out there....... ;)

Yeah same here. Been playing risky as of last since i'm no longer running a server and waited around the myshkino tents for about 45 mins on a high pop and nothing. Was really hoping to see somebody take a risk while I waited in the trees about 700m away. I was ready to test my long range accuracy >:(
